Do these actually break anything?  Looking at the source, after the
messages are emitted the code appears to continue on its way.

If the module really relies on such a specific version of python
relative to the version it was built against, that needs to be reflected
in the dependencies (and would be RC if the mismatch causes the module
to not function correctly).
